our final conversation-on christmas eve
It was a cold winters day the last time we talked, the squirrel that usually ran around by the big oak tree in the back made his rounds early and took the apple cuts i left for him, the previous night to me was so nuts and found me at the local bar thinking of the way you touched my arm so soft and gentle, i must have drank too much cause my head was spinning and the only thing that really hurt me was this empty pain in my heart, 'i didn't even have a chance to say i love you', was the only thought that went into my head, suddenly a knock at the door pierced the silence, i struggled to get to my feet while fighting the cob webs when i came to see your beautiful smile and your hand resting on the window with the big puffy snow flakes behind you and the brisk December wind gently taking your hair across your face, 'can we talk?', was the words you said.... 'of course' i replied as i quickly unlocked the door and invited you in......
'i thought we......'
'can i have a hug? (interrupting me)' as the feeling of your hair and the smell of your sweet perfume made the hairs on my spine stand up..... time could have ended right there and i would have been fine for you were in my arms again.....
'i don't have a lot of time so i wanted come see you'
'sure, sit down, coco?'
'that would be great, as you took your first sip i watched the red from your cheeks and the beautiful way you always looked at me as our hands touched you took your seat and removed your first glove grasping your cup'....
'what brings you here?'
'you do'
'what do you mean'
'listen to me'
'you can never take back what happened between you and i and to be honest with you if i could i would go back in a heart beat to feel your arms around me again'
(tears began to flow down my cheek as my eyes swelled up)
'i haven't even got both gloves off, Please don't cry, you will make it more difficult'
'what did i....'
'nothing, nothing at all .. it was just time for me ...'
'but, i...'
'i know.. and i will always love you'
'its Christmas you know,,, and i well, did get you something'
'well,that's why I'm here, i too had to give you something'
'you, go first..'( as you leaned over and gently caressed my lips locking eyes with me) one of your white gloves fell right into my hand, for a quick second there time stood still.. mmmmmm.....
'its in my room,,, wait here okay??'
'sure' (as you gently laughed looking at me)
i ran upstairs where the old christmas tree was decorated with lights and bulbs, last picture we took together was on display near the T.V., that's where the small box with your wedding ring rested with the red ribbons that said.. 'i love you'
as i wiped the tears away and began to make my way back down the stairs i heard voices and the sounds of people crying as i turned from the few seconds i was away i was greeted by my brother and sister...
'what... whats going on?'
'oh come here... I'm so sorry'
'about what as i held your white glove in my had with the box from your ring'
there was a brief silence for a minute or two and although your cocoa was still on the table you were gone......
my sister hugged me, then looked me in the eyes....
your girlfriend was killed last night in an accident......
